Accelerate every phase of your biopharma development

With the SLAS tagline ‘Come Transform Research’, we feel very much at home at this year’s Annual Conference and Exhibition, especially since we have come to launch a brand new system – Gyrolab xPlore, a smaller companion to Gyrolab xP workstation!

It’s the Achilles heel of the ligand-binding assay (LBA). That is how matrix effects are described by one author in the Bioanalysis Special Focus Issue, ’Matrix effects in LBAs’. This issue includes valuable editorials and a diverse collection of articles by experts concerning matrix interference, how it affects selectivity, and how it can be reduced. Minimizing interference has many benefits for LBAs, including lower sample dilution, higher sensitivity, and increased robustness.

Gyros technology wins for the third year in a row

The 2014 AAPS Biomarkers Best Abstract Award at the AAPS National Biotechnology Conference (May 19–21, San Diego, USA) has been awarded to Chase Shen and Chris Stebbins of Biogen Idec, Inc. for their poster reporting studies of matrix effects using Gyrolab, ’Urine Urea Impacts the Accuracy of Soluble Vascular Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (sVCAM-1) Urinary Immunoassay’. Congratulations to Chase Shen and Chris Stebbins!
